Good News from my Alma Mater

(via John Carroll magazine)

Doctors Joseph Kelly and Valerie Flechtner, longtime members of, respectively, the faculties of Religious Studies and Biology, have co-written an engaging explanation of why the fervently advocated alternative evolutionary theories of Creationism and Intelligent Design are simply not good science. In a feature in which Kelly and Flechtner offer two separate polemics, Kelly concludes his argument with:”No thinking theist could possibly accept either creationism or intelligent design. Both ‘theories’ leave us with a creator/designer who is fallible, inefficient, dilatory, cruel and, most importantly, unintelligent. Theists can believe in a God who acts in creation, but they should not equate this deity with a pseudo-scientific Intelligent Designer.” Flechtner cuts to the chase by saying, ” …we must conclude that, whatever else ID may be, it is not science!”

I took a class taught by Dr. Kelly (Introduction to Religious Studies: Religion and Myth) ~~twe~~ mumbly muffly years ago. It’s good to see his attitude towards religious fundamentalism hasn’t changed. It’s also good to see faculty from my alma mater addressing Creationism and Intelligent Design.

Microsoft has encountered a critical vulnerability in Windows 98, 98 SE and Windows Me that it simply cannot fix, the company acknowledged Friday. The flaw affects Windows Explorer and after investigating the issue, Microsoft said it would need to reengineer a significant amount of the operating system.

…

The Redmond company says that because it would need to re-architecture Windows Explorer in those legacy systems to better match Windows 2000, a fix just isn’t feasible. According to the updated bulletin, Microsoft could not ensure that applications written for Windows 9x would continue to operate as intended after the changes.

Moreover, Microsoft has little incentive to expend the resources necessary to patch the flaw. Support for Windows 98, 98 SE and Windows Me ends on July 11, which means no more security updates will be released and no technical or public support will be provided.

Windows ‘Fun’

(via wincustomize.com)

Here’s how to do it:

Open up Notepad (not Wordpad, not Word or any other word processor)

Type in this sentence exactly (without quotes): “this app can break”

Save the file to your hard drive.

Close Notepad

Open the saved file by double clicking it.

One has to wonder how many more of these “gems” are just waiting to be discovered. Since Windows isn’t open source, we may never know…

Mmmm, Monkey Chow
